The first Chinese International Fishing Trade Exhibition (CIFTE) opened its doors last week in Suzhou, near Shanghai.

Angling International was the only global recreational fishing trade magazine to attend the event. It was run alongside the Suzhuo Shanghua domestic show, which celebrated its 10th anniversary. Both events were organised by the Chinese Fishing Tackle Association (CFTA).

The international trade show had its own professional trade complex and altogether the whole arena comprised nine halls on two levels.
